Natives of Koide
gollark: Due to something, palaiologos won the vote by rather a lot, despite having only been a member for a few months.
gollark: Due to LyricLy being somewhat unserious as owner, we wanted to remove them and get someone else in place. This worked; LyricLy agreed to resign due to things (no blackmail*!) and we held an election.
gollark: I don't know, really. There are theories.
gollark: I forgot.
gollark: If you don't have access to our internal memos and such you can't have a full history of it, see. And you don't. Muahahaha.
